“In a nutshell, the semiconductor business is benefiting from strong growth in AI which in the current quarter is on track to grow 60% Y/Y to $5.1 billion. We suspect that the segment will overachieve the revenue objective of $5.1 billion revenue run rate providing upside in the quarter. For the July quarter non-AI sales, we anticipate business will be largely flattish for the July quarter. Overall, we see the AI piece as the lead driver of growth in the July quarter as the non-AI business remains flattish and at the cusp of a recovery with some segments improving but others flattish to down.
